When you travel as much as I do, you're bound to run into the occasional luminary. In Cincinnati I've waited for the same plane as Gallagher, the comedian who smashes watermelons. Of course I covered myself in plastic and hid my bag of grapefruit immediately after I recognized him. At LaGuardia, I've run into former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, the "Property Brothers" from HGTV and some dude who used to be in advertisements from Rambler cars back in the '60s. (He's dead now, and might have been then, too?)
Then in Columbia, S.C., the entire gaggle of WWE wrestlers were waiting for a flight with me. (That was FLIGHT, not fight.) Can you spell S-T-E-R-O-I-D-S? (Not that gigunda men who wear spandex would ever use any type of enhancement drugs.)
I've sat with Mandy Patinkin's light designer. You know Mandy? He's the famous singer/actor who stars in Showtime's "Homeland." Oh yeah, and on one flight, I sat with a cameraman from "The Talk" who was originally from Pittsburgh.
Once I sat beside a therapy dog that had just won a national award. That was one of my favorite trips because he snuggled up to me and licked my hand most of the way home. (It was the salt.)
In Pittsburgh I've run into football stars Joe Namath and Franco Harris, both real and in statue form, Chuck Knoll, former Pittsburgh Steelers coach, and at least three or four other athletes or musicians.
But recently, I've become a flying buddy with Lynn Swan. In case you were born after 2000, here's Lynn's bio excerpt From Wikipedia: "Lynn Curtis Swann (born March 7, 1952) is an American professional football player, sportscaster, and politician and part owner of the Arena Football League team, the Pittsburgh Power. In 2006, he was the Republican nominee to run for governor of PA."
So there you have it. He's a very conservative guy, and, as a former professional musician, I'm guessing that in any long conversation, he and I would probably not see too many things the same way. But that's okay because he's my plane buddy.
Lynn has been described as Baryshnikov, the world famous ballet dancer, in cleats. He has also been described in NFL films as "a lethal combination of smooth sipping whiskey and greased lightning, one of the most graceful receivers in NFL history." You see, he studied ballet, and his ballet training enabled him to defy gravity. So when you say, "Ballet" combined with the names "Stallworth, Bradshaw, Webster or Lambert," you understand that Mr. Swann was NOT a traditional football player.
The first time that I met him, well, I was shocked. Our plane had landed, and we were getting our suitcases out of the overhead in order to deplane when a very handsome guy reached up grabbed my suitcase and, as a courtesy, he handed it to me. I thought at first that it was just because I look like an old dude, but it turns out he's just a nice guy. Although he is still buff and weighs about a human being less than I do, we were almost the same height. That's the part that shocked me! I'm about two inches taller than Napoleon.
That next time I saw him was boarding the tram between terminal buildings, and he was with a really beautiful woman . . . probably his wife. So the other day, even though I didn't expect him to recognize or speak to me, he stopped, smiled and said, "Hello." It must have been because he reads my columns in this paper, and he recognizes my face from the picture?
So, of the 470,000 people I've passed in various terminals, Lynn is the only one who has spoken to me more than once. Even though we've had several governors who were master dancers, maybe I should have voted for him?

Starting a Freelance Business – How to Take Care of Legal, Tax and Contractual Paperwork
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: July 18, 2012, 7:13 am
If you are new to freelancing or thinking of becoming a freelancer, you'll no doubt have lots of questions, especially about the legal and regulatory paperwork you need to obtain and manage throughout the business year.
Freelancing, particularly if you are unincorporated, is one of the least paperwork-intensive forms of business ownership. Nevertheless, you are still a business and you need to be sure you have the right licenses or permits, make estimated tax payments on time, report your earnings each year, and deal with client paperwork such as contracts, non-disclosure agreements, and more.
To help you stay on top of your obligations, here's a breakdown of key legal and regulatory processes, plus important "business-ready" documentation you'll need when dealing with new clients.
Legal and Regulatory "Must-Dos"
Here's what you'll need to do to ensure you set up and manage your freelance business legally:
1. Get the Right Licenses and Permits – All businesses need some form of license or permit to operate in their state, county or city. In all likelihood, your freelance business is operated out of your home. So you may need a Home Occupancy Permit and a General Business License. You can get both from your local government website. Or simply use SBA's "Permit Me" online tool for information about the licenses or permits you may need based on your zip code and business type. Be sure to obtain these before you start doing any business.
2. Register Your Business Name – If you want to name your business anything other than your given name, then you'll need to register a "Doing Business As" name with your local government. This guide explains how. If you use your own name, skip this step.
3. Pay Estimated Taxes – This one often comes as a surprise to freelancers, who may be used to having their taxes withheld by an employer. As a freelancer, it's your responsibility to pay Uncle Sam and your state revenue agency almost as soon as you earn income each quarter. If you expect to owe $1,000 or more when you file your annual return, then you must pay estimated taxes on income. For information on how to calculate and make your payments, read: How To Calculate and Make Estimated Tax Payments.
4. Complete a W-9 Form When You Get a New Client – When you ink an agreement or start work with a new client, it's likely they will ask you to complete IRS Form W-9 (you may have to ask them for it). Filling out a W-9 is straightforward: provide your name and social security number, or "Doing Business As" name. The client holds this form and doesn't send it to the IRS; it's a formal certification by you that your tax ID (SSN) is correct. The form also asks if you are subject to backup withholding – most taxpayers are exempt.
5. Annual Tax Reporting: The 1099 Form – If you've earned more than $600 in a year from a client, they have to report these payments to the IRS through Form 1099-Misc. Your client will send you a copy by the end of January each year. Be sure it's accurate – does the amount the client stated they paid you match your records? You don't have to do anything with the form other than it in your records and use it as a reference when you report your annual income to the IRS. Think of it as the freelancer's equivalent of the W-2 form.
I've deliberately excluded incorporation as a "must-do" legal and regulatory step for freelancers. Incorporation isn't a legal must-do. While it has its benefits, it can also have cost disadvantages. To help you decide if incorporation is right for you take a look at: Should You Incorporate Your Freelance or Consulting Business? SBA's Incorporating your Business guide is also a useful reference.
Essential "Business-Ready" Documentation for Freelancers
Here's a list of some of the day-to-day documentation and paperwork that you will likely need or encounter as a freelancer:
1. Cost Estimate and Proposal Documents – Give your business a professional touch by creating your own branded template for project quotes and proposals. You can pay a graphic designer to create many of your basic business documents and graphics, or use freely available templates in software such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs. Sites such as FreelanceSwitch also offer free templates and resources.
2. Contract Documents and NDAs – Most clients will have their own contracts in place for independent contractors or freelancers. Be sure to read through the terms with a fine tooth comb. Don't be afraid to question anything that doesn't make sense or is irrelevant. The Non-Disclosure Agreement or NDA is usually included and is pretty standard. It requires you to agree to the client's legal rights for protecting company knowledge or information you may have access to during the course of business, as well as intellectual rights relating to the work you produce.
If your client doesn't present you with a contract, you may wish to protect your own interests by producing your own. This blog offers tips: Setting Up a Client Contract.
3. Statement of Work – Even if you have a client contract in place, many clients will also ask for individual statements of work (SOW) for each project. It's a good idea to volunteer one even if they don't ask for it. A SOW is a project-specific agreement outlining the mutually agreed scope of work and the timeframe for its completion. It sets expectations, deliverables, and the price. It may also include information on resources needed for the project, including roles and responsibilities on both sides. The secret to a good SOW is to avoid being vague – if it's too broad and non-specific, you may end up with a dispute. Once the SOW is agreed and signed, you are ready to begin the project.

Friday April 22 is Earth Day, but you can have fun exploring nature with your child everyday! Here is a fun fingerplay you can teach your child about flowers in the spring time:
Flowers in a Row (to the tune of Down by the Station)
Out in the garden (crouch down), Early in the Springtime,
See the pretty flowers, grow in a row! (slowly raise up)
See the little bees, flying down to greet them! (wiggle fingers around like bees)
Buzz, Buzz, swish-swish, high they grow! (stretch tall on tippy toes)
Here are some easy ways to explore nature with your child:
- Take a walk! Talk to your child about the plants and animals in your neighborhood. How many red flowers can you count? What does that rough tree bark feel like?
- Collect leaves, twigs, acorns and other small pieces of nature from your yard. Glue your bits of nature to a piece of paper to make a collage.
- Plant seeds for small flowers like marigolds in a paper cup or small flower pot. Let your child water the plant and watch it grow.
- Visit the library for books about bees, squirrels, fish or any other natural topic your child shows an interest it!

Vegetation Management
Frequently Asked Questions
Trees add to the beauty of our community, but trees growing too close to power lines can be dangerous. Tree limbs coming into contact with power lines are major causes of power outages. By pruning trees before outages happen, we can help maintain reliable electric service.
Q | How often do you prune trees?
A | Delmarva's scheduled tree maintenance is based on a two-year cycle, such that half the public-space trees in our District of Columbia and Maryland service area are maintained each year. The types of trees in our area generally need pruning every two to five years. Each tree's size, shape and growth rate are taken into consideration. Maintenance may include pruning or removing branches that are too close to power lines, or in some cases, removal of entire trees.
Q | How much will you prune from the trees?
A | The amount of pruning varies based on tree type, growth habits, tree health and relative location to the power lines.
Q | What standards do you follow?
A | Delmarva's tree pruning is performed following the standards and practices as outlined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) publication A300. This standard for line clearance is followed by nearly all electric utilities in the United States. Delmarva also works with the D.C. Department of Transportation/Urban Forestry Administration to comply with its tree-pruning practices, and with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
Q | Can I prune my own trees?
A | Tree pruning near electric power lines can result in severe injury or death. You should not attempt to prune any tree or vegetation growing near or through power lines.
Q | Can Delmarva prune a tree on my property?
A | Delmarva will investigate requests for removal of tree limbs that may endanger our power lines. Our contractor's inspectors will explain to the property owner what tree work Delmarva will have done.
Q | Can Delmarva recommend a company in my area for tree work?
A | Delmarva does not recommend specific contractors. Consumers should check to see that the contractor is licensed and insured, and complies with all applicable laws, codes, ordinances and permits including OSHA and ANSI regulations.
Q | Who do I call if I have a complaint or question about tree pruning?
A | If you received a special door hanger notifying you of tree-pruning activity in your neighborhood, you should contact the forestry representative listed on the door hanger. Otherwise, you may contact Delmarva at 202-833-7500 and ask to have someone in our forestry department call you.
Q | Will you clean up and remove the debris?
A | When pruning is done as part of our scheduled tree maintenance program, debris will be removed. We will not remove debris from storm-damaged trees.
Q | Do you have any advice for planting trees under or near power lines?
A | Yes, here are a few things to consider:
Call before you dig
Local laws require homeowners and businesses to verify the location of underground utility lines. Call Miss Utility 2-10 work days before you begin:
|Cecil & Harford Counties of Maryland
|Eastern Shores of Maryland
Plant the right tree in the right place
When selecting a tree, consider the ultimate mature height of the tree. Small trees, those less than 25 feet tall, are the only trees that should be considered for under or near power lines. Examples of small trees suitable for our area include dogwood, redbud and flowering cherry. Check with a local nursery for a more complete list, or visit www.nationalarborday.org. This Web site has a wealth of information on trees of all types and inexpensive tree purchasing programs, as well.

"I was very pleased with the quality of the card. I did add the pearlized paper and was happy with my choice. The picture quality was good and everything arrived promptly."
"Everybody loved this card. It has room for lots of photos on all surfaces of the card including the back. The only improvement I will make for our next card is to get a glossy finish."
"This was a perfect holiday card. The wording is simple yet so fitting for the time of year. I really appreciated the fact that you had some flexibility with personalizing the border background as well as the wording and front size and type. The quality of the paper was great and did not distort the picture in any way. All 200 cards arrived with the exact same quality. The only very small draw back was that the card did not fold perfectly. It was a little longer in the back than the front but that did not take away. Everyone who received the card said it was our best one yet. Thank you! This was my first time using this site and it was such a positive experience that I will definitely use again."
"Front of card I used a black and white photo of my three grandchildren with a red accent. Inside three color photos with the childrens names shown and on the back I used two photos of the children walking away. The pictures where taken in the woods and the quality of the card showed every detail. I received many many compliments. I will definately use Tiny Prints again!"
"We were delighted by our Christmas cards this year. They arrived on time and were on heavy paper stock with quality envelopes. The photos appeared better than I had hoped. Thanks for a terrific job!"

You get perspective on what's really important in your life when you go through tragedy.
While I was traveling last week I went through the Denver airport (before the shooting). While standing in line at security and there was this couple in front of me both wearing the same blue shirt that said "Billy Graham Crisis Response Team." So I had to ask.
We had the best conversation in of all places the airport security line.
They were in town helping the people that lost their homes in the wildfires. She spent the week going through the ashes of a family's home that had burnt to the ground. They found the mom's wedding ring. She said, you would have though that miraculously everything she lost had been returned to her because she was so elated to find her ring.
Just goes to show. The perspective you get when all is lost.
Life's not about the stuff we work so hard to accumulate, it's about the relationships.
Side Note: After our talk we shared about our personal lives and restoration. It was a second marriage for both of them. After going through a rough time, they found each other and in retirement decided to serve God with Billy Graham. We prayed together right there in airport security. I told her, I want to be just like you when I grow up!

This dramatized training film portrays five different types of suicidal personalities so that warning signs can be spotted and help offered before it is too late. Following the 44 minute film, a 10 minute portion of a 2012 C-SPAN Washington Journal regarding the continuing problem of military suicide is shown.

One more attempt at being on the same page: does the upcoming Monday have "Clean stove (outside & top)" as an item? It is the first week of June from 2007, and if they didn't change it, then that's where it should be, as the items you mentioned for last week (first aid kit, organizing desk, etc) were in the previous week.
I just did a general tidy today, and am going to jump in with the printed list tomorrow.
I am a big believer in, if you don't get it done, do not look back! Otherwise it becomes overwhelming, and then nothing gets done, which is how I got into this mess in the first place!
I also want to declutter this June, so am going to get that in, somehow... maybe a room a week? Or something like that.
Excited to be joining, I think I will be a lot more peaceful if my home is cleaner and de-cluttered.
My big big big goal is to establish and maintain a steady routine, so I don't have to do big huge clean-ups anymore.

I have created a DVD project and the standard DVD menus work perfectly. The project is based on a single AVI file with Chapter markers. When I check the project for errors I do get one error the end action for the main time line will not execute because of the end result of the last chapter. Both have the same action to perform so this is not really an issue it seems to me.
As I said the actual DVD menus work exactly as they should. There is a main menu, Section menu, and a scene menu. The first play menu is actually the Selection menu. If I select the scene menu everything initially looks good the button highlight but if I activate button, they do nothing.
I was hoping some one might have an idea what I could be doing wrong in creating the menus or does the Flash menus not support multiple menus possibly?
FYI: the menus are motion menus,
There are some limits in flash output, but none that should have this effect.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/encore/cs/using/WS130B1F01-AE62-4c59-BA44- F29ACD8522EEa.html
Do you see the same problem on DVD output?
You might post a screenshot of your flowchart.
I assume you are using overrides?
Do you have the end action of the scene menu set to the main menu? Is that really what you want? I don't see why your scene buttons don't work, but that strikes me as odd.
If that does not fix it, try removing the chapter end action on that last chapter. Yes, it should not matter, but something is odd.
Otherwise, I would try creating a simple version with one menu, linking to the movie. Confirm this works. Then one with two menus, with one for scenes (just a couple of chapters). Same problem?

I have been working at Martin Agency full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Working with great people on US as well as worldwide campaigns. Great mix of work/life for an ad agency.
Cons – Work assignments can be less than stellar, they really cater to particular creative teams and let others get the leftovers.
Advice to Senior Management – Creative teams become entrenched. You need to mix it up more. Open campaign concepting up to multiple teams, and not just on pitches.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

If you spend any time at all on Twitter you know that Nike has cranked up its influencer machine around the 30th anniversary celebration and relaunch of its mighty Air Force 1, doing the usual gathering of fashionable folks who are being spirited away to various secret locations, gifted with product (plus tons of Kool Aid), which they're now happily Tweeting all about, pinning posts with #keepitcoming.
The above image is Nike's AF1 Lunar Force, a lighter sleeker version of the Uptown and the first in the "Family of Force" series, which will be available for purchase starting today at Nike's Pivot Point pop-up shop in Brooklyn near the Barclay Center (520 Atlantic Avenue).
Nike designer Marc Dolce who was responsible for the project sat down with GQ magazine and here is one quote from the q&a on how the original shoe was altered:

Your sanctuary furniture is important because it projects a sense of spirituality to praying congregants. You want to make sure that the pieces you choose reflect the devotional feelings of your congregation. With Hertz Furniture's selection of sanctuary seating, pulpits and more, you are sure to find pieces that reflect the graceful appeal you want for your chapel.
Which church chairs are right for my congregation? Whether you need to seat a large congregation or a small group, we have a variety of sturdy church chairs for all occasions — from lightweight stacking chairs to wooden pulpit chairs — to meet your needs. Many of our padded chairs convert conveniently into pew seating. These thickly-padded chairs come in a selection of upholstery colors and back styles, so you can choose the combination that is right for your space. This versatile option enables you to keep your furniture even if you redecorate or remodel your chapel.
Fabric-upholstered portable sanctuary chairs are also available with a choice of convenient accessories. Looking for an accessible place for prayer books or Bibles? Elastic book pockets on the backs of the chairs or under-seat book racks provide a convenient place for any books congregants might require throughout the service and sermon. When books are so easily accessible, no one will have to run to the shelves or search for the appropriate volume during services.
Which chairs should I get for extra seating in my church? For extra seating in a church or a low-budget option, Hertz Furniture also has a selection of dignified and graceful stacking chairs. These chairs can be set up or stacked up in a flash. The stacking design saves space in storage and facilitates efficient transport when using a chair dolly. Stacking chairs are great for special occasions and holidays when additional seating might be needed in a pinch.
Pulpit chairs are another integral element of sanctuary seating. Because pulpit chairs face the congregation, it is important to choose elegant seating that reflects spirituality and holiness. Our pulpit chairs feature cushy padding so clergy members can stay comfortable. Majestic detailing and a selection of finishes are sure to enhance any chapel. Pulpit chairs are available in right, left and center configurations for an attractive setup that is worthy of your house of worship.
Which pieces of furniture should be on the pulpit? Communion tables and pulpits are commonly found at the front of churches. They are available in a choice of styles and finishes. We offer the classic natural wood finish as well as elegant colonial style. Majestic winged pulpits cut an imposing figure at the front of the sanctuary, framing the speaker during the sermon or announcements.
Hertz Furniture also has a selection of podiums and lecterns that can stand in place of or in addition to a pulpit. If you are looking to buy a church lectern or podium, a wide spectrum of options is available from basic classic wood lecterns to modern sound lecterns and acrylic options. Sound lecterns are convenient because they feature built-in microphones and speakers which make it easy to hear the service and sermon. If you want to modernize your house of worship, multimedia lecterns are an excellent idea. These podiums are perfect for a variety of technological purposes such as slide shows or video screenings. Our AV carts come in many styles and sizes to suit your multimedia equipment.
Whether you are looking to update the furniture in your house of worship, remodel or you just need a few new chairs, Hertz Furniture is the right address. We can help you choose the sanctuary furniture that expresses the character of your congregation and fulfills your practical requirements. Hertz Furniture offers a complimentary, professional design and planning service to help outfit your house of worship properly.Whether it is figuring out exactly how many chairs to order or how to arrange the pulpit, you are sure to benefit from our years of experience and expertise.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDDC 141712 AFDDDC AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 1212 PM CDT Mon Apr 14 2014 ...Update to aviation... .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 1010 AM CDT MON APR 14 2014 The 14.12Z 250-hPa map showed a meridional flow pattern across the middle portion of the United States. The strongest jet streak of 105-110 kt was well south of the the region (across south Texas). At 500-hPa, an amplified trough was moving across the Great Plains. Fairly cold mid level temperatures of -28C to -34C was upstream of KDDC. At the lower levels, intense cold air advection (CAA) was noted across SW Kansas with 700-hPa/850-hPa temperatures down to -10C/-7C, respectively. Fairly impressive CAA, considering the 850-hPa temperature was 19C 24 hours ago. At the sfc, a strong cold front had moved all the way down to coastal Texas. Low-end accumulated snow advisory amounts reported across the DDC forecast area. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) ISSUED AT 219 AM CDT MON APR 14 2014 Snow will continue across south central Kansas during the morning hours before tapering off by noon. This is due to a storm system exiting to the east. Otherwise expect mostly cloudy skies in the morning with decreasing clouds from north to south in the afternoon. Winds will generally be from the north with some gusts. With abundant cold air advection, highs today are only forecasted to reach into the low to mid 40s. Winds decrease in speed and shift to the west tonight. In addition, skies will be mostly clear with dry conditions. This will allow good radiational cooling to occur across western Kansas with lows dipping into the lower to mid 20s. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) ISSUED AT 351 AM CDT MON APR 14 2014 The Wednesday Night-Thursday time frame continues to present a major challenge in the forecast. Until then, tranquil weather will encompass the western Kansas region Tuesday and Wednesday as dry northwest flow aloft will occur across the Rockies and adjacent Western Plains. We will see a warm-up both Tuesday and Wednesday, as a result. Wednesday will be the warmest day out ahead of the next front with a downslope enhancement in the low level flow leading to warmer 900-800mb temperatures. The cold front late Wednesday will approach west central Kansas and if the timing of this front is faster than currently expected, then highs will need to be lowered. As it is, mid to upper 60s should be common across much of southwestern Kansas with some lower 70s south and east of a Liberal to Dodge City to Larned line. The cold front will continue to move south with surface cyclogenesis occurring in response to a digging jet streak over the Rockies. This is where the similarities between the ECMWF and the GFS end. The ECMWF continues to show a more progressive translation of the jet streak and attendant mid level potential vorticity (PV) anomaly to the north of southwest Kansas. This results in important 700mb cyclogenesis farther north toward the Kansas-Nebraska border...unfavorable for decent precipitation event across southwest Kansas. The GFS continues its more developed, southern solution that it was showing yesterday. It is also a colder solution. Should the ECMWF begin to trend in the direction of the GFS, then this will lead to much greater confidence in the precipitation/temperature forecast for late Wednesday Night into Thursday. As it is, we will be carrying Likely POPs north of the Arkansas River. We lowered the highs a bit more for Thursday and have introduced a non-diurnal curve in the hourly temperature forecast for Thursday as there is a fairly high degree of confidence in falling temperatures during the day. The stronger, colder GFS solution would support another accumulating snow event over much of southwest Kansas. We will keep the Rain or Snow precipitation forecast going. By Thursday Night, the storm will begin to pull away from the western Kansas region and POPs will be decreasing during this time frame. Another hard freeze can be expected early Friday morning as surface high pressure moves in supporting light winds and clear skies. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) ISSUED AT 1212 PM CDT MON APR 14 2014 VFR conditions expected through TAF period.

The boys J5 group boasted the most competitors of the multi-age contest, and it also boasted the strongest results from Team Telluride. Telluride racers claimed an almost clean-sweep of the J5 top ten, taking all but four places in both the morning and the afternoon's events on both Saturday and Sunday.
Samson Schuiling sped to three podium finishes over the weekend, finishing 2nd Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, then again stood on the podium taking the bronze Sunday afternoon. Max Dwight was close on his heels in all events, taking 3rd Sunday morning and adding a 5th place and a 6th place finish as well. Will Plantz added to the J5 mix, taking a 4th, 6th, and two 7th place places. Meanwhile, J5 teammates Finley Bailis, Lyons Brown, and Chandler Bennett rounded out the J5 boys top ten in all of the weekend's races.
While Telluride's J5 boys went home laden with ribbons, the girls J5 contingent finished the weekend similarly decorated – with ribbons as well as some shiny hardware to hang from their mantles. Anna Fake opened the weekend by winning the girls J5 race, after crossing the finish line in 34.20. She finished the weekend with two more bronze medals. Ebba Green also achieved podium finishes, taking 2nd and 3rd on Saturday and another 3rd on Sunday.
"Almost all of our athletes were in the top ten in both races every day, so overall it was a really great weekend for the whole team," said alpine coach Kevin Riley of Telluride's 9 and 10-year-old J5 racers. He added that not a single J5 from Telluride posted a DQ all weekend, which is a significant feat in and of itself. "To make all the gates and finish all the races, at that young of an age, is quite an accomplishment," he said. He noted that first-time racer Morgan Omar even snuck into the top ten over the weekend, finishing 10th on Saturday.
While Telluride's J5 competitors definitely had a little swagger in their post-race walk, with so many competitors making the trek up and down the podium, the team's older racers also had much to be proud in Crested Butte. J4 competitors Jack Plantz, Lawson Omer, Malcolm Major, and Tagert Mueller all took among the top ten skiers, while J3 Hayden Fake finished with a 4th and two 5th places.
Telluride's J4 girls' saw podium finishes from Mikaela Balkind and Griffin Mueller on Saturday (finishing 2nd and 3rd, respectively), another podium place for Mueller on Sunday (3rd), as well as several top ten finishes for Katherine Bush. Telluride's Marina Marlens broke into the J3 girls' top ten as well, posting her best, 3rd place result on Sunday afternoon.
TSSC alpine program director Mike Bowman, who is currently attending a race in Keystone with some of the team's older racers, was encouraged by his younger racers' results. "Telluride stood on the podium quite a bit in Crested Butte – they all did a great job," he said.
Telluride's young up-and-coming racers will race on home turf next month, February 7-8, when Telluride hosts a slalom event on Competition Hill. TSSC is looking for volunteers for this race; along with a free lunch and lots of race watching, volunteers will receive one complimentary lift ticket. To volunteer, contact the TSSC office at 728-6163.

paraguay: stopping the rural exodus
This exodus leads to rural depopulation and the abandonment of sustainable agricultural and other productive practices, weakening people's sense of belonging and identity, and destroying communities. This is happening throughout the whole country but Cordillera de los Altos is particularly badly affected.
what happened?
Friends of the Earth Paraguay / Sobrevivencia worked with women and young leaders from peasant communities in Cordillera de los Altos to promote and facilitate the exchange of local and traditional knowledge and wisdom, with the aim of guaranteeing families' livelihoods.
They organized workshops and other activities where participants, who came from families who had traditionally been peasants and craftspeople, were able to share skills.
what changed?
The project made a small but significant contribution towards addressing the rural depopulation problem, by strengthening collective efforts to re-establish sustainable, just and diverse productive activities among peasant communities.
The workshops and other activities helped participants to recover their profound sense of belonging to their respective communities, and to re-establish key roles in local governance and decision. Participants were able to re-establish the conditions needed to produce healthy and organic food in their fields, and rediscovered traditional methods of making pottery, baskets and wooden handicrafts. They were also able to make better use of seasonal crops to feed their families, and to sell surplus produce through fair trade channels. A strong relationship was developed between consumers and producers, through a trading system based on solidarity and justice.
The project gave peasants a deeper understanding of the social, environmental, economic and political issues affecting their communities.
As a result of the return to agro-ecological farming methods, ecosystems are beginning to recover, bringing great benefits to a region that had been greatly damaged by extractive practices and as a result of cultural erosion and economic impoverishment. The recovery of ecosystems goes hand in hand with the availability of a greater diversity of natural materials for handicrafts.
what next?
By the end of this project, the government had not yet taken forward plans to incorporate agrarian reform and the promotion of organic agriculture in the framework of a National Environmental Policy. The current challenge is to mobilize peasant communities to demand these reforms and strengthen resistance to the current agribusiness model.
The transformation agenda is also key to strengthening resistance at the community level. FoE Paraguay will continue to work with women and young people to defend their livelihoods by creating and strengthening sustainable and diverse production and distribution systems based on solidarity and justice. The organization will also support them in their defense of their territories and collective rights.

Life-safety improvements in works at five Elgin high-rises
By Mike Danahey email@example.com November 29, 2012 9:34PM
The Housing Authority of Elgin has big plans to update Central Park Tower, the affordable senior housing complex along Route 31. September 5, 2012 | Sun-Times Media~File Photo

Updated: January 1, 2013 6:08AM
ELGIN — The city's fire department has been spending a lot of time this year working with the owners and property managers of five high-rises in Elgin to improve life-safety conditions in the buildings.
The department wants those changes to be made, or at least plans in place for them, by the first of the year.
According to documents obtained by The Courier-News through a Freedom of Information Act request, the structures are the Professional Building at 165 Division St., the Tower Building at 100 E. Chicago St., Buena Vista Tower at 222 Locust St., Westwind Tower at 104 S. State St. (Route 31), and Central Park Towers at 120 S. State St.
The first two buildings are downtown commercial spaces, and the latter three are low-income residential properties.
A ringed binder full of supporting material shows photos and information collected from inspections of those sites — and that issues include a lack of sprinkler systems in some of the buildings.
Fire Chief John Fahy and Fire Code Official Ron Sessions said city fire codes were updated during 2011, with those approved by the city council this fall. Related to that, the department earlier this year put together an action plan to address code compliance issues for the city's tallest buildings.
A memo from Fahy to City Manager Sean Stegall updated Stegall on the progress of the project. The memo states the building overseers were contacted by mail in March, with a follow-up sent in September stating that legal action would be taken against those not complying with the codes.
Seeking change
While the document claims changes have to be made by Jan. 1, Fahy said the intention is for all to have plans related to fire and emergency safety in place and moving forward by that date.
Fahy and Sessions said that thus far, plans are progressing for the Professional Building and Buena Vista Tower, and those for the Westwind and Central Park towers — which are overseen by the Housing Authority of Elgin — are promised by the end of the year. The department is still waiting to hear from Tower Building representatives.
Buena Vista Tower was of utmost concern to the department, Fahy said, because of past fires, the fact that 200 or so people sleep there, and significant work needs to be done, particularly installing a sprinkler system.
A memo dated Oct. 29 from Jeffrey Rappin of Evergreen Real Estate Services LLC, which manages Buena Vista, states, "We are presently planning a major physical rehabilitation of the property. As the property is 100 percent Section 8 subsidized building and is considered low-income housing, we are going to utilize low-income housing tax credits provided by the Illinois Housing Development Authority to generate a substantial portion of the money needed to complete this rehab ... . One way or another, we will be commencing the renovation of Buena Vista Tower at some point during the first half of 2013 ... . Included in the Buena Vista rehabilitation will be all the life-safety measures you noted in your email as well as any others that might be recommended by Fire Safety Consultants Inc."
An Oct. 11 email from Sessions to Rappin says that the plan for the Locust Street high-rise should include standpipe and fire pump testing; life and fire safety emergency plans; addressing the application of a fire sprinkler system and installation of an automatic fire alarm system; an emergency power supply for the building; addressing emergency evacuation standards; and meeting other established codes and standards.
Standpipes are built into tall buildings in a vertical position so fire hoses can be connected to them. The fire department has requested all five Elgin high-rises submit testing certification related to them.
Big project
According to a fire department memo, a February walk-through of Central Park Towers — which provides affordable housing to income-qualifying elderly — noted a working fire alarm system, a complete fire sprinkler system, a standpipe system and an emergency light system. The HAE intends to remodel Central Park Towers — a $20 million to $25 million project set to be funded with low-income housing tax credits, with work starting next fall.
The HAE also is in the process of securing funding for installing a sprinkler system at Westwind Tower, Sessions said. A fire department memo states that building has fire alarm and standpipe systems.
In the case of the Professional Building, Sessions said work has included setting up a modified system — adapted to its status as an historical building — that includes sprinklers on the first two floors and pull alarms; smoke and heat detectors; and an alarm horn on the floor that holds the banquet room, which has been used for arts and theater projects.
With its old, historical buildings, such fire safety projects are more common on the East Coast, Sessions said, and they can serve as a model for engineering systems for buildings here.
"A goal on buildings 50 or more years old is to protect those in them and the structures and to offer early warning," Sessions said.
The Professional Building is owned by Chicago-based 164 Division LLC. Building manager Frank Halsey said he felt some of the department's requirements went beyond what was necessary, particularly the sprinklers on the first two floors where an alarm system had already been installed. Still, Halsey said Sessions in particular had been easy to deal with, pointing out problems and offering solutions.
The Professional Building owners have spent $100,000 to $150,0000 making the moves requested by the fire department, Halsey said. And the owners are about 95 percent through with all types of renovations being made since they bought the building about seven years ago, he noted.
"The city has been quite helpful and has found us grants for some of the work," Halsey said.
Tower work
The Tower Building is overseen and owned by the nonprofit Stickling Foundation, which is headed by attorney Neal Pitcher.
In an interview for a story in early November, Pitcher told The Courier-News that "Even though the Tower Building was constructed using fireproof materials, the recent adoption of a new life-safety code has imposed new requirements upon the building for fire alarms, smoke detectors or a sprinkling system.
"We have been implementing some of these improvements over the last several years, and we are working with the city fire officials to prioritize those improvements that still have to be made."
Sessions and Fahy said that the concern is not necessarily with building materials but with what is in the building that might catch fire.
To that end, issues being addressed at the Tower are to include replacing and properly latching a number of doors; providing a complete fire alarm system and exit lights at all doors and emergency lights at all corridors; clearing some areas being used for storage, including a coal bin in the basement; making sure the standpipe is working; installing sprinklers on the first three floors; and, by 2015, replacing one of the manually operated elevators with a fully automated one.
